Chapter 82: Chapter 82

“Sir Carsein?”

“Ugh?”

The owner of that voice was Lady Whir. Behind her stood some of the young ladies following Lady Genoa. Carsein asked in an unusually hard tone, “Excuse me, who are you?”

“I met you at the garden party at the Duke Verita’s mansion the other day. It seems you don’t remember me. My name is Kirina Se Whir.”

“Did I see you there?”

“Yes. I also went to the party celebrating Sir Carsein’s becoming a knight. ”

Smiling at Carsein who was looking at her blankly, she turned to Sir Lars and bowed politely.

She looked at me and flinched for a moment, then casually bowed to me with a smile.

Even though she didn’t know who she was, she also greeted Princess Frincia anyway and walked away, saying goodbye.

“I think she is interested in you, Sir Carsein.”

As she cracked a joke, Carsein replied with a shrug, “I’m not sure.”

“Well, I think she is.”

“Even if you think so, I am not interested in her anyway.”

“Really? Then, what type of woman do you like? ”

Carsein could have been surprised at her unexpected question, but he responded casually without hesitation, as if he had a ready-made answer.

“I want a woman like a sword.”

“Oh, you must be a born knight! A woman like a sword? I hope you can meet a good woman. ”

After stopping for a moment, the princess looked at me with a meaningful smile. What the heck? ‘Why is she looking at me like that?’

“Lady Monique?”

“…Oh you’re late. It’s time to go back to the palace, Princess, ” I cut her off because I was feeling nervous somehow, she stood up with a smile. I and Carsein then stood up.

However, Sir Lars wouldn’t move, still seated. He was thinking about something so deeply that Carsein called him several times before he hurriedly stood up with apologies.

“I really had a good time today, Lady Monique. Please come to the palace where I am staying next time. ”

“Okay. Please take care.”

“I enjoyed it, Sir Carsein. Thank you very much. ”

“See you next time, Princess.”

Upon arriving at the assigned palace, Princess Frincia left with a wistful look and said goodbye to Carsein. As Sir Lars said he was on night duty, we left the two behind and headed back to the outer palace.

“It was a long day.”

“You bet.”

“But Carsein, don’t you think Sir Lars looked a bit weird today?”

“Did you also notice that? I don’t think his behavior today fitted him at all.”

“As far as I know, he was always calm…”

“If you found him weird, I think that’s it. How stupid, my brother!” Carsein said, clicking his tongue. When I tilted my head at his remarks, he smiled and stroked my hair.

“Hey, don’t think about it, little girl.”

“Little girl?”

“Of course, you are a little girl in my eyes! You have to go a long way to become an adult.”

Narrowing my eyes, I looked at him. I felt a bit upset when he smiled at me.

‘Hey, I’m not a little girl. If I combine my age before I came back from the past, I’ve lived longer than you.’

Although I mumbled, his remarks pricked at my conscience. Is it because my heart became young because I became young again? I felt I was still young when I found myself often doing things that the old me would never have done. Still, I think I behaved better in front of others, but when I was with Carsein, I felt like I was childish, which I couldn’t understand at all.

“Aren’t you going back? You’re going to be late.”

“Ah, okay.”
